The Apertura season of the Liga MX is about to begin, and we can’t be more ready for the first matchday to start, as we are eager to see how things will begin this season. Especially, since the current defending champions are on an excellent streak and getting ready to cement their status as the best team in Mexico.
Now, América looks to continue with its best level at the start of the Apertura MX 2024, and the first spot will be in Potosí against San Luis.

Why Bet on San Luis?
Now, we get to focus on the game that San Luís will be hosting. After ending their last season in 13th place and not making it into the Play-Ins, they expect to return to what they did in their positive 2023. However, they ended on a high note by beating Santos Laguna 3-0.
Through social networks, Atlético de San Luis announced that it hired Cristiano Piccini for the Apertura MX 2024. The Italian defender arrived from Sampdoria, in Serie B, and played for clubs such as Fiorentina, Real Betis, Sporting Lisbon, Valencia, and Atalanta.
The 31-year-old defender comes to fill the vacancy left vacant by Unai Bilbao, who signed with Xolos de Tijuana.
Why Bet on América?
Club América will be visitors on their first clash of the season, but they are clear favorites for this game and the title. They are the defending champions from both the Liga MX and the Campeón de Campeones.
The Águilas will face this match with several important absences. Players like Israel Reyes, Igor Lichnovsky, Diego Valdés, Sebastián Cáceres, Brian Rodríguez, and Richard Sánchez are out of contention due to international compromises. In addition, we must add the absences of Luis Malagón, due to injury, and Julián Quiñones departure.
For this semester, the Águilas managed to sign Rodolfo Cota and José Iván Rodríguez, in addition to Erick Sánchez. The first two will be able to have minutes from matchday 1, while the second will not be able to debut yet.
Final Betting Analysis: San Luis vs. América
On paper, it is a meeting between David and Goliath, but the Azulcremas arrive with several important downs. However, despite not having several of their starting players called up by their national teams for the Copa América 2024, the Águilas will go into this match as favorites to take their first three points of the semester.
With an alternative team, André Jardine’s team beat Tigres in the Super Cup and could also account for Atlético de San Luis this time.
One way or the other, we are personally expecting America to get a good start to their Liga MX season and then continue marching forward, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with once again. We’ll go for a 1-3.
We’ll go for a victory for the visitors at 1.78. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $78 for a total payout of $178.
